My Thoughts on the Neynar Score and Participation 1/3 So, we're already seeing some mini-apps set a 0.5 Neynar Score cutoff. You can access the app, but as soon as you try to actually do anything inside, that score message pops up. I'm honestly not sure if it's the right move to let an algorithm dictate whether you can participate in a mini-app. I've been active on Farcaster for about five months now. I engage with the mini-apps, I give likes fairly regularly, I post a cast, and I reply to others. I’ve never once tried to spam. The simple reality is I just don't always have the time to reply to casts. I also prefer to post nothing at all rather than posting something low-effort just for the sake of it. It's also pretty discouraging when you post something thoughtful in a channel and get zero engagement, not a single like or reply. And this isn't necessarily because the content is poor.

On my main feed, I mostly see casts from high-follower accounts. But if I try to leave a thoughtful reply on their cast, I usually get no answer back. I totally understand they can't reply to everyone, but it still makes it tough to feel encouraged. What are the alternatives? Some of the top 50 mini-apps offer you a chance at greater reach, but then you have to pay for it. As a developer, I feel strongly that the platform shouldn't be discouraging genuine users who want to contribute to Farcaster’s success. It seems like the system is forcing users to reach certain goals, but not everyone wants to chase high scores on Neynar. Sometimes you just want to post or reply without the added pressure of meeting an algorithmic objective. When an algorithm limits you like this, it can definitely lead to a less positive user experience.

What’s annoying is I have notifications on for the channel and did NOT get the notification that you posted. I only saw this because @cryptonjal quoted it. This makes me mad. I want to see everything posted in my own channel but I still can’t.

Filtering out spam without excluding good casters is problematic, and combining data doesn't make it better. Besides that Neynar is the easy choice for many builders, but Neynar mistake less engagement for spam. I don't think there's a good solution. Spam and scams are persistent and have more resources than most users. If you want to use all the mini apps, you'll have to keep various social credit systems happy. That's also what I see dubious accounts doing btw... 🎁

Aww it’s worth hanging on in here and keeping going Don’t get disheartened. The thing that helped give me some perspective was comparing FC to all the other platforms. Here is way more friendlier and intelligent and thoughtful and has all the digital underpinnings of trying to support creators as much as possible for our time and content. But yeah I went a bit bonkers on all the ai chatbot and botblockers. You’re not a bot are you?

how is engagement within farcaster app dependent on your neynar score? farcaster app does not use neynar score. not getting engagement is fully decoupled and up to your content and the app algorithm
